My primary research interests include investigating the influences of emotion on cognitive processes and identifying risk factors for depression.

  I am also interested in mindfulness,which is  paying attention on purpose to being present in the moment in a non-judgmental manner, and its influence on attention and emotion regulation. I am currently working on research focused on the mechanisms of mindfulness.

  I have been trained in empirically supported interventions, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Exposure Therapy for Anxiety.
